Comparative
Digestibility
of Food
Made with different Baking Powders
From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made
with each of three different kinds of baking
cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted
separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each
for the same length of time.
The relative percentage of the food digested is
shown as follows:
Bread made with
Royal Tartar
I 100 Per Cent Digested 1
Bread made with
phosphate powder: _
| 68*4 Per Cent. Digested 1
Bread made with
alum powder;
I" 67% Per Ceot Pigerted 1
These tests, which are absolutely reliable and
unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance
to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of
tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges
tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found
to largely retard the digestion of the food made from
them.
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it
is the source of very many bodily ailments.

Under the present form of
government in Charlottee neither
the voter, the taxpayer nor the
citizen is getting a squaie deal:
Tbe voter because he has little
voice in the government an*;
never knows what the man h*
votes for is going to stand for;
the taxpayer because one-third
or more of the taxes he pays is
wasted through lack of co-opera
tion and the absence of efficiency
in many departments of the city
government; the citizen because
if he has a complaint he has no
responsible person to appeal to.
All ot these things would bf
remedied und#»r a comm ssion
form of government. The voter
would be powerful at. all times
and inefficiency or ill conduct in
office would be remedied by the
removal of the offending official.
The taxpayer would have the
pleasure of receiving full value
for his tax money in the form of
street®, sidewalks, police and
fire protection, proper sanitation,
etc.

Family Quarrel in Board of Agricul
ture.
Raleigh Dispatch.
Tlje Joint Committee on Agriculture
voted this afternoon to report favorably
the Roberts bill for protection of forests
through township and distiict wardens
to be paid ®lO a year and 20 cents an
hour when actually fighting fire, the
bill carrying an appropriation of $20,000
and making it possible for this State to
share the benefits of federal aid.
The commtttee heard the family
quarrel of the Department of Agriculture
concerning the conflict between the
Board of Commissioners as to the ap
pointive power. A pending bill would
heads off divisions appointed by the
Commissioner with the advice and con
sent of the Board and other appoint
ment by the Commissioners. Messrs. W.
J. Shuford, W. R. Scott and other mem
bers of the Board urged that the entire
appointive power be given to the Board
with the Commissioner having merely
voice with other members. There was
spirited discussion and a subcommittee,
consisting of Senators McLeod and
Brown and Representative White and
Williams of Martin, was named to inves
tigate and recommend.
The Home Merchants' Opportunity.
Albermarle Enterprise.
Our home merchants who are
alert and awake to their oppor
tunities will become active com
petitors of the distant mail order
nouse. In the near future, mer
chandising through the mail is to
become a feature of trade and
since the home man has advan
tage of all other houses outside
the zone of operation in the mat
ter of rates, the active merchant
*ill be able to hold his trade,
rle should go after the mail or
der business himself, and en
tourage his customers to send
their orders to him by mail. The
local newspaper is the best me
dium for bringing dealer and
buyer together and the man who
fails to realize this right in the
beginning will wake up a few
months hence to find that the
other man is working while he
was asleep. Rest assured that the
mail order houses will establish
convenient agencies everywhere
and the best way to forestall this
is for our local stores to get
ready to handle trade within
their zones.

Explanation by Dr. R. Wood Brown,
To the Editor of the Democrat
Every who aspears publically
either in person or in print, in
vites criticism; consequently the
criticisms on my article on the
C. &N. W. R. R, are in order
but they should be directed
against the proper persons. 1
made a special trip to Chester to
write up the C. &N. W. R. R.
and when I entered the head
quarters of that road I did know
any more about the origin of the
C. & N. W. than a feathered
biped knows about paleontology.
Mr. W. M. Vandever, the elder
ly lccomotive engineer probably
knows what he writes for it is
fair to presume than a man who
has pulled so many trains can
tell whether he is running over,
a broad, a narrow gauge or a
mono-rai l . Webster gives "the
broad gauge as six feet in
United States and seven feet in
England, the standard gauge at
four feet eight and one half
i inches, and any gauge less than
standard is called narrow gauge
and it may vary from two feet
to three feet six inches,"
All the data for my article was
obtained from the officials of
the C. &N. W. at Chester; ex
cept that about the employees
in Hickory. And all errors are
not of my making, Mr. Vandever
says he would like to "learn"
me old railroading, I should be
pleased to meet him as ancient
h story is always interesting.
it does not make any difference
whethe - th» C. &N. W. started
as a bread or narrow gauge. It is
a rattling good road and runs
through a fertile country and
for its length it carries as many
people and as much freight as
as any railroad in the United
States and its officers are urban
ity personified, as I learned
while in Chester.
Speaking of Chester, S. C. I
was told how the first Court
House was located. "To satisfy
the citizens, three gentlemen
were appointed to located the
site. They could not agree, but
decided they'd take a jug of whis
key down to the present loca
tion of the union depot, and
and after emptying the jug the
chap who could waik the further
est up the hill should locate the
Court House. chap manag
ed to walk to the top before he
dropped and there was located
Chester's first Court House, it
has been torn down and upon its
site has been erected a beautiful
monument to the Confederate
Dead." Dr, R. Wood Brown.
MRS. WM. ARCHER
Tells Mothers What To Do For
Delicate Children.
"My fourteen-year-old daughter waa
very thin and delicate. She had a
bad cough so that I became very much
alarmed about her health. She was
nervous and did not sleep well, had
very little appetite and doctors did
not help her. Having heard so much
about Vinol, I decided to give It a
trial, it has helped her wonderfully.
She can sleep all night now without
coughing once; in fact, her cough Is
gone. Her appetite is greatly Im
proved and she has gained in weight
Yinol is a wonderful medicine, and I
will always keep it in the house. I
vish every mother knew what Vinol
will do for delicate children." Mrs.
Wm. Archer, 223 Broadway, Long
Branch, N, J.
